I think Romney will secure the ticket as REP Nominee.
I will be tuning in to tonight’s debate to see if there is anything interesting the remaining candidates can bring to the table, but I sincerely doubt it.
While I agree with much of what Ron Paul has to say, something about the Man seems off-kilter to me. I just don’t know but something does not add up with him.
I wish there was some way to streamline the process and bring us up to the election this Fall, because I just want to get it overwith and have Obammy voted out of office. Today when I heard my 19 year old College Student Nephew express his total disappointment in Barack Obama (“He sucks as President and obviously hasn’t done a THING for our Country”) express his point of view- I actually had a sliver of hope that the rest of his generation can figure it out also moving forward.
Four short years ago, I could not convince my Nephew NOT to vote for a Democrat, since this is how the History teachers in Massachusetts brain-wash their pupils to believe the only way to vote in this State is Democrat. PLEASE!
